Public Local Laws as to
1925 General Assembly-
Relating to Yancey
County.
Mr. Editor:
I have been requested by several
people to give an outline of the
different acts of the Legislature
relating to Yancey county as
passed in the 1925 General As
sembly. I cannot give this in
full for the reason that it would
take up too much space, and
shall give only the most import
ant features:
The act known as the Dog Law
was passed by repealing the act
of 1923, which took this out of
the State-wide Dog Law, and the
same law which governed the
keeping of dogs prior to 1923 is
in full force and effect and was
amended as to Yancey county in
the following instances: The
law only applies to injury or de
struction of sheep, heretofore
having applied *to cattle, hogs
and other animals. It requires
the affidavit of at least three re-
lu'able citizens from the vicinity
n which the injury or destruction
is done to support the claim be
fore the commissioners, and fur
ther evidence if commissioners
require.' The maximum amount
payable for injury or destruction
to sheep is $8.00. The amount of
the tax is Sl.OO on male dogs and
$2.00 on female dogs, and this
amount when collected by the
sheriff shall be kept separate and
apart from other funds by the
treasurer and shall be known as
the Sheep Fund Any amount
0.1 hand July first of any year and
collected up until September first.
aTcLgr*; ry -jiiidcd -Yn-j-ury-"or :
other destruction to sheep, may
be used for buying school books
for children who are unable to
buy them. It requires the affida
vit of the parent cr guardian to
the effect that they are unable to
buy the school books. The
amount on hand January first
and not expended for the pur
poses mentioned herein shall go
to the general county fund.
The act increasing the pay of
the County Commissioners Wc.s
repealed and after December,
1926, all commissioners shall re
ceive the sum of $5,00 each per
day, and no more. The County
Commissioners are authorized to
meet only on the first Mondays
in each month from now on, un
less It be necessary to have a
call meeting.
The commissions payable to the
sheriff for the collection of taxes
was reduced from 4 per cent to
2 1-2 per cent., and the sheriff is
only directed to visit the different
townships for the collection of
taxes one time, and shall give at
least ten days notice by posters
of the time when he will visit the
respective townships. This does
not take effect until the 1927
tax books are placed in the hands
of the sheriff.
i opinion it is necessrry to appoint
two they may do so, but not more
than this number. The overseer
shall qualify by taking an oath
of office and giving bond in the
sum of $500.00 for the faithful
performance of his duties. He
shall, on the first Monda.y in June
file a sworn statement with the
Beard of County Commissioners,
giving the name of each person
in his township subject to read
duty. Every three months there
after he shall also file an itemiz
ed, sworn statement with said
Board, showing who have worked
the road and also who have paid
and how the money has been ex
pended, it being provided that
any one subject to road duty be
tween the ages of twenty-one and
forty-five years may in lieu of
such road duty, pay the sum of
S5.00 to said overseer; and any
one failing to perform such duty
or pay such amount shall be guil
ty of a misdemeanor and fined
not less than $10.00 nor more
than $25.00 for each offense. The
sheriff or tax collector is directed
to turn oyer tP each overseer the
names of the peis^is who have
not paid their road tax for the
years 1923 and 1924 on July 1st.
and they shall be subject to road
duty by being warned by the re
spective overseers to put in their
time for the years 1923 and 1924,
as well as 1925, and the same
penalty attaches upon their fail
ure to perform such duty as men
tioned above. The road main
tenance tax was reduced, having
been not less than 15 cents nor
more than 35 cents on the $100.00
valuation, to not less than 6 cents
nor mo.’e than 12 cents on the
100.00 valuation. VV hen this has
been collected, the sheriff is di
rected to keep the same separate
and apart and turn it over to the
Treasurer, and he is directed to
return to each township two-
thirds of the amount levied and
collected for this purpose, to be
spent in the township where it is
levied and collected; the other
one-third to be kept in the Gen
eral t ouniy Road Fund. This
act also provides that where it
becomes nectssarv to take land
for road purposes, that the land
owner cannot recover damages
unless his lands have been de
creased in value by reason of the
construction of said road, and if
it becomes necessary to send a
jury of view to pass on said dam
ages and said jury finds that in
stead of|the lands being decreased
in value the.y have been increas
ed, they shall so report and how
much, and a judgment shall be
rendered by the County Commis
sioners against the land owner
for the amount of increase the
property has had, which judg
ment shall be collected as other

What does it profit a man to save his money and hide it in a teakettle?
Of course very fewpeople of today literally place their money and faith in old teaket-
numbers are still banking their hard earned funds in the old kettle
